Moravec's paradox is really interesting in terms of what it says about ourselves: We are super impressive in ways in which we aren't consciously aware. My belief about this is that our self-aware mind is only a very small part of what our brain is doing. This is extremely clear when it comes to athletic performance, but also there are intellectual things that people call intuition or other things, which aren't part of our self-aware mind, but still do a ton of heavy lifting in our day to day life.
